Kohn Luttinger mechanism is the appearance of a superconductor (or superfluid) due to pairing of fermions which arises from some form of long range attractive coupling for high l-states.

That's a ridiculous statement. The math is the understanding. Everything else is handwaving.

False analogy. I'm in favour of legislating who can own what newspaper. Does this mean that I must be in favour of legislating which newspapers have to hire what writers?

It's much better on toasted rye with caraway seeds.

Yup, mustard is definitely a must. Swiss cheese? That's just weird.

Never liked dill pickles, but then I'm from Toronto.

For other Canadian food:

Anything with Maple Syrup.

Tourtiere (traditional Quebec pork pie. Very, very good. Excellent comfort food for winter)

Perogies is a staple food on the prairies.

In BC, the White Spot burger.

It's a possible improvement at the expense of free speech and free association. Do I think that banning any political discussion involving the mention of a privatisation of health care would lead to better government? Probably. Do I favour such a ban? No.

Nobody forced anybody to join the Liberals or to vote for them. The candidacy process is striaghtforward. Spending limits give indpendents with proper motivation the ability to advertise on the same level as their competition. Voting for a national party with a centralised nomination process is a choice that Canadians make. The leader is given exactly as much power as his caucus gives him. This caucus is selected by Canadians. Period.
